Watch Successful CEO and Financial Expert Peter Schiff Take on ‘The 99%’ at Occupy Wall Street

What happens when a financial expert tries to take on “the 99%” at Occupy Wall Street? Peter Schiff, CEO and Chief Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc., found out when he paid a visit to the occupiers at Zuccotti Park.
The long-time financial industry executive and radio host asked the protesters what they felt was a fair percentage for him to be taxed. None seemed to provide a clear answer, but were intent on telling Schiff that the Bush tax cuts need to be abolished. Schiff then attempted to explain to the demonstrators that, if the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, he would end up paying more than 50 percent to the government in taxes. Is “that fair?” he asked. The protesters simply stayed on course, reiterating that Schiff and all those in the “1%“ need to ”pay their fair share.”
Schiff provides a good example of what happens when “the 99%” are confronted with legitimate questions about taxes, entrepreneurship, employment, and giving back to society.
MRCTV was there to capture the heated exchange:

I cannot believe we havent gotten to that poinbt yet. What wwould happen if WE THE TAX PAYER all adjusted our paycheck withholdings to 0,and quit sending in tax dollars everyweek? We would couple that withna message to the NON TAX PAYERS— we will NOT pay our taxes until you start paying. The Fed Government socialist Movement would stop, We also would demand that the Fed Government balance the Budget, and quit BORROWING $4BILLION a day to pay for the $4 TRILLION expense on the $2.2 TRILLION revenue collection. somethings gotta give.

Schiff is great I love when he tears into people. These drones have no answer like most. Bushs fault, banks fault, everyones fault but them. I think Schiff touched on something that should be done. The 1% needs to flex their muscles in two areas.
1) They need to start supporting the anti-left movement. Pure and simple whether its The Blaze to lil ole me those with the big bucks need to start helping out otherwise move to some part of the world where you THINK you will be safe and free to live as you live here. The very system that has enabled you to become the 1% is under full attack, freedom is under attack while you sit idly by with your huge bank accounts. Hey thats your choice just dont be surprised when they come for you at your country club or gated community…. and they will eventually!
2) Demonstration of peaceful force… what do I mean? Oh I dunno an organized shut down of like minded businesses for a week. Imagine if the Peter Schiffs of the US got together and said lets close up shop and not say when we will be back, what do you think would happen? or Stop doing business with some questionable clients for a period of time. Utilize that 80K tax code and not pay a single dime in taxes(some do pay!). Money keeps the machine going if big business pulls the plug everything comes to a halt.

Since the economic collapse happened after seven years of Bush administration deregulation, it couldn’t have been the government. No, the private sector gambled your money, America’s money, and lost.
My other question is how many people has he hired as his profits have soared. Wall Street isn’t hiring, they are laying off. The oil companies are making record profits, and to some nice tax deductions from the government, and they are laying off. The Koch brothers are making more money than every, and they are laying off. The rich are making more money than ever, and they aren’t hiring, they are laying off. If you think giving the wealthiest companies more money, and hoping they will hire more, well, history, doesn’t support that.

(Oh hell, I forgot about the filter. Remove the five asterisks in the above URL. I have no idea why the asterisks work, by the way. Just sayin’.)
It’s not the private ownership of the means of production that causes economic crashes, but rather artificial expansions of credit which mislead people into investing in long-term projects (capital intensive).
The fact that capital is involved in economic crashes is why you blame Capitalism for them, but without government interventions and artificial expansions of credit, system wide economic crashes cannot happen because the money supply would be commodity-based and would therefore not be easily inflatable, and credit would be based on real savings and spending as opposed to government mandate.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 10:12pmThat silly lady with her talking points was flabbergasted when Schiff asked her how many people she employed. Funny.
May I change the conversation though with all due respect. Newt Gingrich is coming up in the polls. I like Cain and will vote for him if he’s the nominee. But, check out Newt. My Dad was born in 1939 and truly believes that the democratic party is the party of his fathers ideals before FDR. I ask my Dad what a progressive is and he has no clue. He thinks NBC is the best news source. “However”, there is optimism, my Dad has read a few of Newts books and really likes what he has to say. My Dad and my family are very conservative Lutherans. With that said, my Dad also believes that Clinton balanced the budget. Of course we all know it was Newt back then and Clinton had to capitulate to the Republicans. My Dad’s source of the news back then was NBC. So, he thinks that is the truth. Anyway, as much as I like Cain, let’s start thinking about what Newt has to say. Yes he comes with baggage. Interesting. My Dad likes Ron Washington who is the manager for the Texas Rangers and a former player for his favorite team the Twins. I asked him, how can you root for him? He got caught snorting cocaine as the manager. My Dad said we can forgive if the person chooses to change their ways. I asked him….how about, Newt? Perhaps he has changed as well. Newt has all the skills. I’m hoping he follows through with his new contract to America.

“I have a question for him. What percentage of jobs did he destroy? Since the economic collapse happened after seven years of Bush administration deregulation, it couldn’t have been the government. No, the private sector gambled your money, America’s money, and lost.”
Capitalists don’t destroy jobs; they offer better or cheaper goods which consumers then CHOOSE to buy. The jobs lost in a free market are thus due to consumer preference, and not because of theft.
But in place of the jobs lost, more products are either better or cheaper, and so you can buy more for your money; you then don’t have to work as hard to afford things.
Of course, we don’t have a free market; We have a highly regulated and corporatist economy.

Also, it was Clinton that partially repealed Glass-Steagall, not Bush; But even before this partial repeal, commercial banks were allowed to hold mortgage-backed securities.
It wasn’t deregulation that caused the crash, but the expanded credit in the housing market and the moral hazard created by government protections, as Ron Paul noted in 2001.

You ever read any of this Rules For Radicals stuff?
http://www.conservapedia.com/Saul_Alinsky
The astute reader can readily identify many of these rules on the “Talk” pages of Conservapedia. The enemies of conservatism and Christianity (or indeed any Religion) have practiced without end, Alinsky’s “rules”, especially numbers 11, 8, 5 and 4.
Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a “mass army” that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, services groups, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 12:56am@JZS You have a fundamental misunderstanding of economics. The oil companies are making record profits. Can you produce your own gas and plastic and food and well, everything else you consume in your life? No you can’t. The Koch brothers are the lefts boogy man. Their answer to Soros. Except, Soros is an invester and currency killer. The Koch brothers provide you with products that you really cannot live without. Petrochemicals for food and refineries for fuel for, again, food. The tax code is set up for major producers. Why? So you can live your life without having to grow your food, generate your own power etc. The tax code is not set up in your favor and never will be.
As for the financial collapse, you cannot truthfully blame that all on Bush. The genesis of the collapse go’s back many years and many sessions of congress. The blame department and the fix for this mess begins with government. Sensible regulation not choking regulation. We did it for many years, we can do it again. This quote should clear a few things up for you as well.

I have a question for him. What percentage of jobs did he destroy? Since the economic collapse happened after seven years of Bush administration deregulation,]
I love setting idiot liberal reprobate troll JZS straight. The economic collapse was traced directly to mass lending of mortage money to people that could not afford to pay it back. The number of these sorts of loans started going up quickly during Bill Clinton, prompted and encouraged by Barney Franks and Dodd. Franks, at the time, was litterally sleeping with on or more male executives of Fannie and or Freddie government sponsored lenders.
Idiot liberals have for over 80 years, been trying to make easy (unsecured) loans available to the poor, in order to purchase votes for the liberal agenda. Useful idiots like JZS swallowed their backwards programs hook line and sinker.
Democrats were the demonstrable cause of our most recent economic collapse.

Really quick:
150 is more than 0, which supports his point that individuals in the 1% make more people rich than do individuals in the 99%, typically.
The American government has abandoned the Constitution and is becoming increasingly collectivist, and is increasingly violating the inalienable rights of the citizens the consent from whom it derives its just powers in the first place. So in an effort to reclaim the liberty that is rightfully his, Schiff has moved some of his business overseas. You should know that prior to the Individual Income Tax, the federal government taxed the states and not the individual; And after this tax supposedly became Constitutional, it made the Constitution to contradict itself in that the federal government may ONLY regulate (and even this term was redefined to infringe on our liberties) commerce between the several states, between the states and the Native Indian tribes, and between the states and other countries – so an individual tax is beyond this scope of Constitutional authority.

No one should expect candidates to be loyal to a party if that party has abandoned loyalty to the Constitution.
The federal government doesn’t have the authority over non-federal crimes, so abortion, like murder, is a states’ rights issue. And you couldn’t police the morning-after pill effectively without grossly violating the privacy of citizens, and so abortions done in this manner would have to be left to the individual’s discression.

“If that’s the way Paul feels — and I’m sure he does — he should have left the Republican Party a long time ago. He wants to have it both ways and that’s dirty politics.”
You’re missing the point, which is that it is the Republican party that has left Constitutional principles. Ron Paul has not.
“NO! Abortion is not a case by case issue. All unborn babies have a constitutional right to life, with a few debatable exceptions.
“You need to read the excerpt I linked more carefully …”
I don‘t remember saying it’s a case by case issue, but I did say it was a states’ rights issue.
I did read the excerpt you linked to. And here’s what Ron Paul wrote starting two pages before that.
LIBERTY DEFINED
“It is now widely accepted that there’s a constitutional right to abort a human fetus. Of course, the Constitution says nothing about abortion, murder, manslaughter, or any other acts of violence. There are only four crimes listed in the Constitution: counterfeiting, piracy, treason, and slaverty. Criminal and civil laws were deliberately left to the states. It is a giant leap for the federal courts to declare abortion a constitutional right and overrule all state laws regulating the procedure.
(Continued on next post)
Report Post »A Doctors Labor Is Not My Right
Posted on October 28, 2011 at 12:33pm(Continued from prior post)
(LIBERTY DEFINED continued)
“… If anything, the federal government has a responsibility to protect life – not grant permission to destroy it. If a state were to legalize infanticide, it could be charged with not maintaining a republican form of government, which is required by the Constitution. …
“… The fact is that the fetus has legal rights – inheritance, a right not to be injured or aborted by unwise medical treatment, violence, or accidents. Ignoring these rights is arbitrary and places relative rights on a small, living human being. The only issue that should be debated is the moral one: whether or not a fetus has any right to life. Scientifically, there’s no debate over whether the fetus is alive and human – if not killed, it matures into an adult human being. It is that simple. So the time line of when we consider a fetus “human” is arbitrary after conception, in my mind.”
So Ron Paul was NOT endorsing the morning after pill, as you say. Rather, he was saying that there‘s no way you could police something like this without grossly violating people’s rights. And as Ron Paul noted, abortion and murder are NOT within the scope of the federal government’s enumerated powers, and therefore they are states’ rights issues.
Please reconsider your understanding of Ron Paul’s position, in light of this context.

Iran has to import their own oil, and there’s no evidence that they have nuclear weapons yet, so they can’t be a threat to us, at least for now, is Ron Paul’s position.
Iran has never attacked us, and as a nation we have no right or obligation to get involved in other nations’ wars.
Iran is a sovereign country, and if we ourselves want to be taken seriously when we talk about American national sovereignty, then we have to respect that of other countries. Countries have the authority to do whatever they want within their own borders – this is why Ron Paul has taken the position that while the Iranians’ desire for nuclear weapons are something to be concerned about, they have the right as a sovereign nation to pursue them.

@kryptonite. I agree with most everything Ron Paul stands for. I have serious reservations with respect to isolantionism. Either we fight wars and use ALL of our military might, or don’t do it at all. Ron Paul has only one problem to be electable. He want’s to change to many progressives too fast into becoming respectful citizens not of, but for the United States of America. I believe most Americans desire to return to exceptionalism. The liberals wish to tear that down and turn us into Europe who are seriously trying to figure out how to get out of the quasi socialism they thought would work so well. It will end in disaster for Europe. Germany will lead the charge out of it if there is a chance and will set the example.

The terrible thing about Paul’s isolationist and laissez-faire libertarianism is that Islamists/jihadists, commies, common criminals and druggies interpret it as WEAKNESS and will use it to attack and/or undermine our country and institutions. Paul has a fringe ideology, and like you said, most of what he proposes is not even feasible. Take for example his plan to amend the 14th Amendment to curb illegal immigration. The only way he could actually accomplish that is if he declared himself a dictator or started a civil war and won. Legally, it would never pass.
As for foreign policy, it is insane to even HINT that Israel and the Muslim world can fend for themselves. What would happen to the oil fields? It is not true that we can become oil-independent in two years. Also, we cannot give Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda and other jihadist groups free rein. Even the commie Muslim in the WH realizes that. Just SAYING we will not intervene is extremely dangerous. Carterism was costly, but at this stage, when Islamists have heard Allah’s call to take over the world, it would be fatal. I know we are broke, and that’s why we must, first and foremost, get rid of the traitor in the WH. Four more years and the Republic will be gone – which leads me to the second reason why Paul is dangerous. (CONT.)

Sorry, had to step out. Paul has managed to develop a political-personality cult. You can figure that out by the number of young followers he has, despite his age (thankfully YAF gave him the boot). Many of his followers use messianic language to refer to Paul (e.g., Blue-Sky). They claim they will vote Republican ONLY if Paul is the nominee, another sign of cultic behavior. I find that egregious, given that America is at a crossroads.
I also condemn Paul’s shenanigans. He purports to belong to a different breed of politicians, but he is a typical Washington insider: He is running as a Republican for self-gain. Neither he nor his followers show loyalty to the Party that is enabling his campaign. He now claims to be pro-life and denies being a 9/11 truther or truther sympathizer (whatever that means), but the record shows otherwise:

“The Rich” are part of the problem, not the 1%.
It’s more like the 0.0X% who are making all the money betting mortgages were going to fail and they were going to be bailed out by the Gov.
The difference is that your average millionaire–or even billionaire–is not involved.
Insider elites (who are often rich) like Geitner (or even Obama thanks to book sales) don’t pay any taxes, so that’s why they want them raised.
0 x 100% tax rate = 0
Crony Capitalism is NOT Capitalism.

But using your argumen why don’t we go back to the pre-1913 income tax rates? Oh yeah, I forgot that was ZERO because there was no federal income tax prior to 1913. Or let‘s use the original definition of income which did not in wages for an individual’s labor. Oh yeah again that would be zero.
Better yet, let’s get rid of all of the failed social and entitlement programs from the Great Society era!

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 8:35pmYour argument is based on a flawed premise, “because this was going on at the same time things got bad it therefore must be the cause.” You forget that there were many other things going on in the economy over the years in between, the start of a war, the economic shock of sept 11, the incidents where several major companies were found cooking the books (for at least the last few years, prior to the Bush Era Tax Cuts) and the complete collapse of the mortgage market. These incidents had nothing to do with the tax laws and caused severe damage to the economy.
Do you happen to have any evidence aside from correlation that would link the Bush Era tax cuts to the current financial woes, or should I assume you are just another Liberal who loves to use simple talking points?

You are an incredibly stupid person, to be sure. The economy always had and always will be driven by many factors. The economic collapse was directly traced, not to tax cuts, but to increased quantity of unsecured mortage loans. And these are demonstrably tied to the democrat party.
To analyze any economic factor, you have to look at it’s effect alone, and not the direction of the overall economy. Simply logic and common sense teaches us that a good economic factor can still exist even if the overall economy is going down. And measured by itself, tax cuts are demonstrably good for any economy.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:01pmSee… his end comment says it all:
So for those “lurkers” from the left who read the Beck Boards – here is some simple math, even a liberal can understand:
Now this is right from the IRS Tax Rate Chart for 2011 (Now this is Federal only):
$34,500-$83,600 25% Tax Rate
So, say you make $40,000 which is the average teacher salary (not including the lavish benefit package, pension, etc….)
So you pay $10,000 a year in taxes…
So that is you, one person – who uses roads, water, sewer, etc…
Now lets look at say a CEO who is making $1,000,000
$379,150-and up 35% tax rate
So he pays $350,000 in federal taxes…
Now he’s only one person, just like you…. uses the same water, roads, sewer, etc… but now look at the math:
$10,000 vs $350,000 in taxes…. he is paying 35X as much taxes as you — he’s pay for 35 people worth of taxes, but still only receives the benefits of one single tax payer.
Now your a teacher – your not hiring anybody. He may run a company, may be a small company with 5 people, may 10 people — well, not only is he paying the taxes of 35 people himself, but now he is making sure that 5 or maybe 10 other people now make a living, have money to buy food, clothes, a car and so forth… so unlike you, he is also benefiting others with employment…
If anything should’nt he get a tax break? No, in fact – the company he runs ALSO is paying Corporate Taxes, so in a sense, he’s taxed TWICE, once for himself and again

Let’s take you for instance…if you make $50,000 a year and your neighbor makes $25,000 a year, shouldn’t you pay a LOT more in taxes? Based on your comment, It’s not fair that you make so much more. In a sense, you are telling those with more money that they have no right to what they earn. Yes, they do! All of us do. The truth is, life is better for ALL Americans. Even our poor here live better than 80% of the world. Did you know that?
The fact is that life is NEVER fair and it’s time for liberal nitwits to figure that out. Even under socialism, there is a huge discrepancy between those in power and the average citizen. The difference between socialism and capitalism is that with capitalism, you have the hope, chance and ability to shorten the difference based on what YOU CHOOSE to do. You have the freedom to make more choices and earn more money. In socialist countries, you are either one of the 99% poor or the 1% rich with NO options in between. All are poor to so that all are equal (except the leaders). That’s the fact liberals fail to tell you.
Go visit a socialist country – you WILL change your mind. You will learn about true evil. I wonder if you realize how many they kill to keep the poor equal? How many they kill to squelch individual thoughts of freedom, hope and happiness? Oh, wait…that‘s something the liberal’s don‘t want you to know about or you won’t go along with their plan to

Such a fools answer – reminds me of this classic quote:
“Capitalism and communism stand at opposite poles. Their essential difference is this: The communist, seeing the rich man and his fine home, says: ‘No man should have so much.’ The capitalist, seeing the same thing, says: ‘All men should have so much.’
So instead of stealing more from the man with the $650,000 left over after federal confiscation (remember, that’s just federal, he still has state about 6-8%, county, real estate taxes) so instead of stealing more from what he EARNED…
Perhaps the teacher should look to further his/her education (after making full time pay on a part time job with 2 months off a year ontop of the normal holidays and vacation time) gives plenty of time to further ones education…
Perhaps he/she could get a job at one of those college’s that are severely overcharging student tuitions putting those kids in such debt, may instead of worrying about those paying 35X people in taxes you should focus on occupying The Deans Office and the Bursars Office and complaining about ridiculously high tuition costs…

If I make $1,000,000 – he wants me to pay even more then the $350,000 a year in taxes… so whats fair liberal? Should I pay, oh I don’t know… lets go back to the good old days of Jimmy Carter – another economic failure like Obama, well, not as bad – Obama has no eclipsed Carter… Federal tax was 70% from 1972-1979 for over $200,000 – So you’re saying that I should pay $700,000 of my money…
Well, with that kind of dis-incentive, I would’nt find any reason to work hard, or even try to make anything above $200,000 which means I would probably not run a company, I would just work for someone else…
So that means if I don’t run a company, then the 5-10 people who I would‘ve hired now don’t have those jobs available, they aren’t making a living, I’m not making as much or paying as much in taxes now, they aren’t paying taxes, maybe my company was going to invent a new matter/anti-matter generator to create free unlimited energy for the planet… but now it will never happen because you too away my incentive to want to work harder, make more, do more, start a company, hire people, expand, hire more people, expand more – offer better benefit packages, create new products, industries and incentives for others…

Capital gains is counted as income, dopey dingus. It is simply taxed at a long term investment income rate. The purpose of lower tax rates for long term income is to stimulate long term growth of US companies. If the money stays in US company investments it helps the entire US economy grow.

This draconian measure only pays a tiny fraction of the outstanding bill. Of course you might cause more business people to give up, or move to a more tolerant country tax wise. Sort of out sourcing wealth. But it does get the people off the back of the real problem, the deficit and fractional banking, unsound money.
